Chapter 216 The Council Decides

• The grand hall of the New Dawn Pack was filled with a heavy tension that hung in the air like a thick fog. The elders sat in a semi-circle around the large wooden table at the center. Their faces, lined with age and wisdom, bore expressions of both curiosity and concern. Each elder had seen the rise and fall of many leaders, and now, they were gathered to witness the potential shift in power within their pack once again.
• Isaac stood tall and confident, his piercing eyes scanning the room with a sense of superiority. His dark hair was slicked back, and he wore a fitted black suit. Beside him stood Lucy, her expression one of controlled amusement. She leaned in close to Isaac as he whispered something in her ear, and they both shared a quiet laugh, their gaze briefly landing on Blake, who had just walked into the room.
• Blake, usually composed, looked slightly unsettled. His brow was furrowed, and there was a tightness around his mouth that spoke of worry. He had been expecting Aidan to arrive before the meeting started, but there was no sign of him. The absence of the rightful heir to the Alpha position was not only concerning but also embarrassing for Blake, who had hoped to present a united front against Isaac.
